Harmonic numbers arise from the truncation of the harmonic series. The $n^\text{th}$ harmonic number is the sum of the reciprocals of each positive integer up to $n$. In addition to briefly introducing the properties of harmonic numbers, we…

Multiple zeta values are real numbers defined by an infinite series generalizing values of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers. Finite truncations of this series are called multiple harmonic sums and are known to have interesting…

In 2014, Wang and Cai established the following harmonic congruence for any odd prime $p$ and positive integer $r$, \begin{equation*} \sum\limits_{i+j+k=p^{r}\atop{i,j,k\in \mathcal{P}_{p}}}\frac{1}{ijk}\equiv-2p^{r-1}B_{p-3} ~(\bmod ~…
